Video: The cookie monsters

Granted, this clip is four years old, but (a) Uproxx says it’s “just now going viral,” (b) I’d never seen it before, (c) we need a palate cleanser, and (d) it’s timeless. A thousand years from now, anthropologists will sift through the rubble of our failed civilization, find this video, cue it up, and understand instantly. “This is where it started,” they’ll say, exchanging knowing glances. “This was the beginning of the end.”

Would it be wrong to wish harm to come to their ovaries? If so, I don’t want to be right.

Unless they had major life shifts, I absolutely agree they’re poor stock to be Moms. Still don’t wish any harm on them. Barely.

I remember this from when it happened and just thought, you almost have to fight your emotions to not wish that something worse happen to them. The desire to make them understand how it feels being on the receiving end of such a callous natured person’s behavior is strong.

Probably. She was sure lovin the camera and the attention. I bet she does this stuff for the “thrill” The kidnapping and robbery was what her and her boyfriend did to a drug dealer. I guess she is into drugs as well.

PS both of these idiots claim to be broke, but yet they can afford Starbucks drinks and cell phones.

Beastdogs on June 1, 2012 at 6:23 PM

She comes from an affluent family, so bs on their claim to be broke. Just did it for the fun of it.

Don’t get me wrong, I certainly don’t wish any harm to come to these women, but if it did; what possible justification would you have to feel empathy for them? Gee, it’s too bad you were robbed but, you know, money is money.

True.

Would it be wrong to wish harm to come to their ovaries? If so, I don’t want to be right.

The Girl Scouts have been linked to the nation’s largest abortion provider in the past. In 2010, a panel sponsored by the Girl Scouts USA at the United Nations Commission featured a Planned Parenthood pamphlet called “Healthy, Happy and Hot,” according to published reports.

A portion of the pamphlet read: “Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse. But there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. Sex can include kissing, touching, licking, tickling, sucking and cuddling. Some people like to have aggressive sex, while others like to have soft sex and slow sex with their partners. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!”

A similar pamphlet was distributed at a Waco, Texas Girl Scouts organization in 2008 that included information on masturbation, diagrams of adults having sex and a boy putting on a condom.

That year then-CEO of the Girl Scouts Kathy Cloninger told NBC’s “Today” show, “We have relationships with our church communities, with YWCA’s, and with Planned Parenthood organizations across the country, to bring information-based sex education programs to girls.”

A Girl Scout conference was also co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood in 2004.

However, having met a few dishonest people in my life I found their conversational honesty was refreshing.

They didn’t pretend to be sorry. They didn’t feign misfortune or claim they had ‘no choice’. They didn’t whine that the charges against them were unfair. They didn’t vainly appeal to some ‘higher principle’ of entitlement. They didn’t try to excuse themselves. They didn’t blame the victim or each other or anybody else. They both owned their actions and that, at least, is a good thing and, in my experience of dishonest people, unusual.

But what a damning indictment on the society from which they acquired their values and from which they failed to acquire a sense of shame.

This is the most damning statement about the condition of higher education in this country that I have ever read.

That could very well be true, but iirc (It’s been over a decade since I skimmed through it) according to the Bell Curve, people who are in prison are generally either really, really stupid or really, really smart. There’s not much middle ground.

A friend just posted this on Facebook if you need a “faith in humanity” injection.

Are you insane? They didn’t take money from planned parenthood. This story has nothing to do with abortion.

RINO in Name Only on June 1, 2012 at 8:12 PM

The point is that GSA is very cozy with PP. Some of the money from your cookie purchases ends up in PP’s coffers. Unless you are pro-abortion, I would think that you would have a problem with that.

I posted this SOMEWHAT tongue in cheek as the girls in the video are reprehensible creatures, but perhaps they unintentionally deprived PP of some funding. Anyway, if I have to explain it to you, you are probably not going to get it or you just don’t care.

Nothing that you posted indicates the girl-scouts were funding planned parenthood. I’d rather that no one had any ties whatsoever, but it’s nutty to single out the girl-scouts for the kinds of interactions that hundreds of other organizations, including Starbucks, also have with PP.

Most people here know I believe education on ALL levels in this country “severely vacuums big time donkey”, but in this case I’m going to put most of the blame on their family elders (parents and grandparents).

It’s quite apparent that these young thugs have done well in their civics and political science classes, and are well on their way to becoming stellar members of Congress someday. The thug with dark hair is an up and coming young Pelosi-like thief, while the other bimbo thug is a Wasserman Schultz-like thief. The Wasserman Schultz thug is still washing her hair on a daily basis, but will soon be like Debbie and quit washing her hair altogether. Damn, the Democrats must be real proud of their products.

But point ceded about it being tongue in cheek.

Not singling them out because you’re right, they are one of many that fund PP that most pro-life folks are not aware of. I go out of my way not to patronize the businesses that do fund PP, and I try to point it out to others as well because I can’t stomach the thought of voluntarily (the government forces me to) contributing one penny that might be used to murder an unborn child which is the primary business of PP no matter what kind of “women’s health” BS they try to push. I figured a lot of pro-life people come here, so it’s a good time to get the word out about GSA even on a silly story like this.

What those girls did, as horrible as it was, is nothing when compared to the atrocities that PP commits on a daily basis, enabled by funding from the US taxpayers and your friendly neighborhood girl scouts.

Just because PP is funded by many different “mainstream” entities doesn’t make it right.

Sending little kiddies out to fund-raise for grown-ups is pathetic too. I hate it when non-profits partner up with manufacturers to peddle 50 cent candy bars for $5 and hide behind these poor dumb kids.

It reminds me of libs sending out victims to make their political points.

These are god-awful people who don’t have the first frickin’ clue that what they did is WRONG. Instead, they’re “pissed” that they got caught. Not that the moral compass is broken, they don’t even have one. Flat affect. No conscience whatsoever. We’re going to see more and more of these creatures being bred in our society in the years to come.

This. That would be my diagnosis if these chowderheads walked into my practice.

And, since I practice insight-oriented psychotherapy, I would promptly refer them out for the sort of behavioral treatment which would be largely indistinguishable from that reserved for particularly poorly-socialized dogs.

What a sad waste of perfectly good (and, tragically, quite fetchingly-formed) protoplasm.

I’d use source-force, of course. Tell you what, champ, I’ll let you know how it went after I return unscathed, again. I don’t agree with the practice, personally. You ever been there?

Christien on June 1, 2012 at 11:33 PM

No I haven’t. What difference does that make? You seem to be cheering the practice of mob justice based on an accusation. That is repugnant. If that isn’t the point you were trying to make, then I misunderstood.

You misunderstood. Whether you’ve ever been there isn’t particularly relevant–I was just curious. Again, I don’t agree with the practice and was being facetious based on hawkdriver’s comment about. I can see how my allusion to The Golden Child led you to believe I approve, though.

What both of those girls needed was a good beating…a knock down- drag out-give me that envelope back-hair pulling-nose breaking beating to wipe their smug Starbucks drinking sense of self esteemed entitlement off their vacant vacuous faces.

Earlier in this thread I noted that they both completely owned their actions, without blaming others or making excuses or attempting to garner pity or sympathy, and I thought that was, in its own small way, impressive.

Having read other comments here and thought about it more, I’m now wondering if they did none of those things because they didn’t perceive that they’d done anything that needed to be excused or corrected. Perhaps they were completely devoid of any sense of guilt or shame concerning the theft, just like a wild animal taking food from another wild animal. Not immoral but, worse, amoral.

Since her 2009 arrest, Woods has enrolled in college, has a 3.57 GPA, is employed and passes her regularly scheduled drug tests, Feuer said in April.

I suspect grade inflation.

Yup. You’d likely be surprised about the number of dumb, really useless and really easy to pass courses offered in many institutions of so-called “higher learning” in which just showing up and paying attention can get you an A.

A 3.57 GPA for far too many college students in today’s universe was probably valued at 1.25 GPA forty years ago.

FYI, the older of the two– Stefanie Woods– was later sentenced by a juvenile judge to 3 years in a state drug program under lockdown; for a subsequent offense (walking out on a Denny’s bill) she was sent by a state criminal court to 3 days in jail. At least there were some consequences for this little sociopath.
